In a significant escalation of border tensions, Israeli enemy forces launched a series of nighttime operations in southern Lebanon, deploying illuminating flares over villages adjacent to the Blue Line. The enemy shelling, which extended into the early morning hours, involved the use of heavy machine gun fire directed at the wooded areas near the towns of Ramieh and Aita al-Shaab in the central sector. The situation on the ground was further compounded by continuous reconnaissance flights, with enemy aircraft patrolling the skies over the southern districts of Tyre and Bint Jbeil.
